the idea for this little elf girl came from a delightful book called Ella Enchanted. the book describes the elves skin changing colors with the leaves and i thought that was a cool idea so i totally stole it. my paint job is really messy but frankly i'm sick of looking at it and i never really meant it to be a big deal.

...my hand has phantom pains evertime i see a leaf now... never will i draw leaves ever again...

"This picture caught my attention immediately. The colors are beautiful, and the amount of time and energy that must've gone into drawing and coloring every leaf to make it individual is beyond my imagination. To be honest, I mistook the piece for a watercoloring. It definitely gives a soft impression of one. And the style in which the artist depicted the elf struck me as unique to the Anime style, which is what made it stand out in my mind so much."Autumn by ~AyameFataru (
